Cuba, EU discuss dialogue, cooperation in lead up to normalizing ties

Representatives of Cuba and the European Union (EU) met here Wednesday for two days of talks towards an agreement on political dialogue and bilateral cooperation.
The gathering marked the third bilateral meeting between the two sides since efforts were launched in April of last year to normalize ties.
Ties between Cuba and the European bloc became strained when the EU adopted the so-called \"common position\" in 1996, which basically aligned Europe\'s policy towards Cuba with Washington\'s, restricting trade and diplomacy due to an alleged lack of democracy and respect for human rights in the Communist-ruled island.
\"This round must lead to progress in ... Cooperation and Dialogue on Sector Policies,\" the Cuban Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
Cuba said the talks have been progressing \"on a foundation of equality and mutual respect.\"
This third round follows the Dec. 17 joint announcement by the U.S. and Cuba on normalizing diplomatic ties after more than 50 years of icy relations.
French President Francois Hollande announced Tuesday he will be visiting Cuba in May, a first for a French head of state.
Cuba is the only Latin American country with which the European bloc has not signed any bilateral agreements, though more than half of the EU\'s 28 member states have individually signed bilateral cooperation accords and memorandums of understanding on political exchange with the Caribbean country.
The EU delegation is headed by Christian Leffler, managing director for the Americas of the EU\'s foreign service, while Cuba\' s Deputy Minister of F...

Well it looks like the anti-trust investigation into Google is only growing larger. Global photo agency Getty Images will now join the European Union’s complaint against the tech giant. Getty will now be able to participate in hearings and submit any relevant evidence to the European Commission, which is the EU’s governing body. And it\'s likely to expand the scope of the investigation. Boom Bust’s Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Erin Ade sits down with Charlie Leocha – publisher of “Consumer Travel” and founder of Travelers United. Charlie tells us how a weak US economy has impacted the travel industry – especially at the beginning of summer travel season – and gives us his take on airlines raising prices while making travel less comfortable.
Afterwards, Ameera is joined by RT correspondent Lindsay France to talk about the Polish National Airline hack. Lindsay tells us how the airline’s infrastructure was affected and how passengers were affected.
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the changes in traditional delivery services. Relying on the postal service or UPS for package delivery is quickly becoming less common due to the rise of mobile technology.
Then, Erin Ade investigates how Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce company that had a record-breaking initial public offering in the United States last year, is getting into the so-called online-to-offline market in a big way.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison discuss Bruce Schneier’s call for making encryption by default the standard across the Internet.

Visa (document)

A visa (from the Latincharta visa, lit. "paper that has been seen") is a document showing that a person is authorized to enter the territory for which it was issued, subject to permission of an immigration official at the time of actual entry. The authorization may be a document, but more commonly it is a stamp endorsed in the applicant's passport. Some countries do not require a visa in some situations, such as a result of reciprocal treaty arrangements. The country issuing the visa typically attaches various conditions of stay, such as the territory covered by the visa, dates of validity, period of stay, whether the visa is valid for more than one visit, etc.

A visa generally gives non-citizens clearance to enter a country and to remain there within specified constraints, such as a time frame for entry, a limit on the time spent in the country, and a prohibition against employment. The possession of a visa is not in itself a guarantee of entry into the country that issued it, and a visa can be revoked at any time. A visa application in advance of arrival gives the country a chance to consider the applicant's circumstance, such as financial security, reason for applying, and details of previous visits to the country. A visitor may also be required to undergo and pass security and/or health checks upon arrival at the border.
